Apparently, he was dressed as a serial killer with OCD for a guest spot on CBS's "Criminal Minds," which aired this week. He's laying the groundwork for non-fans to take him seriously as a character actor, since he scored a role as a cardiothoracic surgeon in CBS's potential Fall pilot "Three Rivers." The series plot follows the perspective of an organ recipient, the donor, and the surgical team. His character isn't exactly Prince Charming. While it's true that he saves lives, his romantic situation is more like a tragedy than a fairytale. He lives in a hotel that's attached to the hospital, since he's separated from his wife. But, in spite of this rejection, Alex describes his character as a "cheeky," "lovable scallywag."He also has the comic adaptation Whiteout this September, where he plays the villain, which he described as "a rogue-ish, rugged, Australian pilot who's a bit of a smartass." I'm looking forward to seeing the many sides to Alex, especially if they look this hot:
Update: I just saw the episode. It was pretty damn good!
You won't be disappointed, Alex is a terrific actor besides just a pretty face, I love all the work he has done and Criminal Minds was no exception! Looking forward to have him back on screen this Fall, also Whiteout and The Back-Up Plan!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your article. I believe you will not be disappointed. Alex performs so well any kind of characters, no matter good or bad boy. He has the abilities to make us feel all his character's emotions. I am looking forward to seeing Alex in any works
ReplyDeleteAlex O'Loughlin is an extraordinary actor. He will continue to amaze us all, time after time. This multitalented actor's career will rise to the top very soon.
ReplyDeleteAlex was incredibly amazing in his role as Vincent on Criminal Minds, just as he has been in all of his roles. He is not only drop dead sexy gorgeous, he is extremely talented and I intend to follow his career wherever it leads...
ReplyDeleteAlex is so talented. I know you'll enjoy his new shows. I can't wait to see him test more limits like he did on CM.
ReplyDeleteJanie: Alex is an amazing actor; he just melts into any character that he plays. Here's hoping that we get to see him weekly in Three Rivers this fall. Check out The Incredible Journey of Mary Bryant on DVD.
ReplyDeleteJanie, thank you for finding Alex crushworthy! He absolutely is, because he combines dashing great looks with a unique talent for intensity and passion. He strongly reminds me of the famous heartthrob actors in Hollywood's past: Gary Cooper and Gregory Peck. Alex O'Loughlin has the same aura of confidence, charm and versatility plus a wonderful sense of humor! It's actors like him who make movies and series unforgettable.
ReplyDeleteGlad you took notice of Alex O'Loughlin. He did himself & his fans proud with his portrayal of the OCD serial killer. Takes a very good actor to make you CARE for a serial killer and be SAD when he dies. And he did it with very little dialogue....all physical acting and facial expression. I am a fan of Alex O'Loughlin. He is an excellent actor with so much to offer....acting ability, leading man good looks, comedic timing, physical presence........I hope CBS gives Three Rivers a chance to prove itself....Alex has many loyal fans that will follow & support him.
ReplyDeleteAlex is truly crushworthy. His star is rising and it won't be long before the world see his talent package in that incredibly gorgeous body!! Can't wait to see his new projects.

JANiE, You said, "but I might be persuaded to pay a little closer attention to his career after seeing this incarnation of him", dear lady this is not an incarnation. Apparently you haven't seen his other work. You were too quick to judge him even though he was fantastic as Mick St John. Alex is a talented actor, handsome and smart. So stay tuned. Cobby
ReplyDeleteI love Alex O'Loughlin - he was brilliant as Vincent - so touching it made me cry - and I love all that he does. I have all of his work on DVD - TV and movie - and not only is he the most gorgeous man I have ever seen, but the most brilliant actor. I feel so lucky to have discovered him on Moonlight.
